The men then traveled to a Seminole County home and were arrested, according to deputies.

The men range in age from 19 to 60. A Turkish tourist, school employees and college students are among those arrested.

A Volusia County teacher, Duncan St. Gelais, resigned from his teaching job after his arrest.

"He teaches English to ninth and 10th-graders," said Seminole County Sheriff's Chief Dennis Lemma. "He connected up with whom he thought was a mother who said the family was open-minded. He negotiated and was prepared to have sex with who he thought was a 14-year-old female."

"Most of the men who were part of this asked us if we were cops; they suspected this was a sting," said Lemma. "They feared apprehension, yet came anyway."
